    Re: Compatible Graphics Cards and Newest Driver Software Info

    I had a problem with the new beta drivers. My game would lag pretty badly, similar to what it does when I double my resolution in the registry. I think it may be do to the fact that I play on a 1280x960 screen and it is just too much for the graphics card or cpu to handle. I will try out these new drivers, but unless something has radically changed, I think I will just stick with what I have.

    be warned if you are someone who likes to remote desktop in to your PC the 175.16 drivers will not allow that.

    so, what... this POL news headline was pointless? do the new drivers make FFXI 100% playable now on a decent PC? or does turning shadows on with an nvidia card + vista still put the game at a crawl in heavily populated places like aery or campaign?

    Re: Compatible Graphics Cards and Newest Driver Software Info

    Well, I am running XP on my macbookpro and I HAD the 163.37 drivers that came with the Boot Camp update. Updated to 175.16 and am not noticing the holy grail of framerates. I do however have my texture res hacked up 2x. I have slowdown in weather effects such as wind and sandstorm and Whitegate, and at telepoints.. framerate drops to about 10-15 fps or so in those scenarios. So I'd say we're not there yet. Anybody having those framerate problems who doesn't have their res upped?
